Cancellation Meetup: Easy Method
What is Meetup
Overview
Meetup is an online platform that helps people create and join local groups and events based on shared interests.
It offers free membership features plus paid organizer subscriptions (Meetup+ or Organizer) to manage groups and promote events.
How Meetup is used
Individuals use Meetup to find events, RSVP, and pay any group-specific dues or event fees set by organizers.
Organizers may subscribe to premium features to run larger or recurring groups and collect member dues or fees.
How to cancel Meetup
Canceling subscriptions purchased on the web
- Log into your account at meetup.com.
- Go to Settings > Subscriptions or Billing and select the subscription to cancel.
- Confirm cancellation; the subscription will remain active until the end of the billing period.
Canceling subscriptions purchased via app stores
- Apple App Store purchases: cancellations and refunds are handled by Apple; contact Apple Support or use your Apple account subscriptions.
- Google Play purchases: open the Meetup app or Google Play subscriptions, choose your subscription and tap "Cancel subscription." Refunds follow Google Play procedures.
Additional cancellation routes
- If you need assistance, consult the Meetup Help Center at help.meetup.com.
- For policy or EU/UK refund requests email policy@meetup.com; for general support use the Help Center contact options.
What happens when you cancel
Access and billing
When you cancel a web subscription, your paid features remain available until the end of the current billing period.
No further recurring charges are made after cancellation, but past charges are not automatically refunded unless policy allows.
Data and group content
Your Meetup account, groups you belong to, and past event information remain accessible unless you delete your account or organizers remove group content.
Organizers who cancel subscriptions may lose access to organizer features at the end of their billing period; group data typically remains unless deleted.
App-store specifics
If purchased through Apple, Apple controls cancellation timing and refunds under Apple Media Services Terms.
Google Play cancellations are processed by Google; Meetup does not control timing or refunds for app-store purchases.
Will I get a refund?
General refund rules
Refund eligibility depends on where and how the subscription or payment was made and on Meetup's published refund windows.
App Store purchases are excluded from Meetup-issued refunds and must be handled through Apple.
Subscription refund windows
- Weekly/monthly organizer or Meetup+ subscriptions: refundable within 20 days in applicable cases.
- Yearly subscriptions: refundable within 60 days in applicable cases.
- These windows do not apply to purchases routed through Apple App Store.
EU/UK special right
EU and UK users have a 14-day right to cancel with a full refund, including during free trials, starting when the service begins.
EU/UK refund requests should be emailed to policy@meetup.com as specified in Meetup’s Terms of Service.
Member dues and event fee refunds
- Refunds for member dues or event fees are encouraged in certain circumstances (group closure, canceled/rescheduled events, removal from group).
- Such refunds are processed via the payment processor set up for the group (Stripe or PayPal) where applicable.

Your consumer rights in United Arab Emirates
Local legal context
Meetup’s published terms do not establish a UAE-specific statutory cooling-off or 14-day refund right.
UAE consumers’ refund and cancellation rights for Meetup are governed primarily by Meetup’s stated policies and the platform terms.
Practical guidance for UAE users
- Review group-specific refund policies before paying dues or event fees.
- If you purchased via Apple or Google, follow the respective app-store refund and cancellation processes.
When Meetup’s policies apply
Refund windows that Meetup publishes (20-day, 60-day, EU/UK 14-day) apply where stated but may not cover UAE purchases made via app stores.
For disputes, gather payment records and contact Meetup support via the Help Center; retain receipts for any chargebacks if needed.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some users find Meetup useful for organizing recurring groups like Toastmasters and appreciate the community-building features.
Positive reviews often cite convenience in discovering local events and structured group management tools.
Common negative feedback
Recurring complaints include difficulty cancelling subscriptions, unexpected charges, and opaque billing in some cases.
Other issues reported: double billing, poor app/site UX, limited customer-service responsiveness, and frustration over price changes.
Takeaways
- Check billing source (web vs app store) before attempting cancellation to know where to cancel and seek refunds.
- Keep records of signup, billing, and cancellation attempts to support any refund or dispute.
Documentation checklist
Before you contact support
- Account email and username used for Meetup.
- Subscription type and billing cycle (monthly, yearly, or app-store purchase).
- Receipts or bank/credit card statements showing the charge.
If requesting a refund
- Reason for refund and relevant event/group details (if refund relates to dues or event fees).
- Payment method details (Stripe, PayPal, Apple, Google Play) and transaction IDs if available.
- For EU/UK 14-day requests, include a clear statement that you are exercising the right to cancel and the date service started.
Common mistakes
Canceling in the wrong place
A frequent mistake is attempting to cancel an app-store subscription via the Meetup website (or vice versa).
App-store purchases must be cancelled through Apple or Google Play to stop future charges; Meetup cannot directly cancel those.
Assuming automatic refunds
Many users expect an immediate refund after cancellation; Meetup refunds are subject to specified windows and conditions.
Organizers’ dues and event fees may require separate refund handling through the group's payment processor.
Insufficient documentation
Failing to retain receipts, transaction IDs, or correspondence makes disputes and refund requests harder to resolve.
Always save confirmation emails and payment records when you subscribe or pay event dues.
